​The Oregon Unit of Mennonite Disaster Service invites Mennonite churches in Oregon to participate in the purchase and equipping of a Mennonite Disaster Service Tool Trailer which will be used by MDS volunteers at MDS build sites.

This project follows similar trailer projects in other places. (see picture above) Contact Maurice Imhoff for more information.

​The project has several phases:

1) fund raising of about $14000 to purchase a trailer based on specifications suggested by MDS national office in Lititz, PA;2) purchase of a trailer;3) fund raising of about $16000 to purchase the tools to equip the trailer;4) recruitment of volunteers to build the trailer shelves and storage boxes to organize the tools.5) Any surplus from this campaign will help us add an additional bay to a shed on the Zion Mennonite property for secure and weather tight long term storage once the trailer is set up and furnished with tools.

The time schedule for this project depends on the availability of funds to accomplish each phase. We are aware that not all of the 21 churches in the conference will be able to raise funds for the project, but prayer support for the project is greatly appreciated.

You can help by simply dropping a check into the PMC offering with "MDS Trailer" in the Memo line. We will make sure it goes toward this very worthy cause!
